Tidefarer is set in Thelas; a world of grand fantasy, brilliant magic, fantastical technology and high seas adventures! It aims to capture the vibe of Saturday morning cartoons with JRPG and anime inspirations.

  • Ancient Ruins and Harsh Lands
    • The seas of Thelas are populated with countless shifting islands. Some of these islands have been settled and moored to make up the Anchored Isles. Most islands however still roam the seas and are known the Tidelands. They are perfect bases of operation for pirates but many are left untouched that bare mysteries and perils yet to be discovered.
  • A World in Peril
    • The land and sea are dangerous; filled with both adventure and perils. Pirates roam the seas looking for fortune and opportunity with questionable motives. Great beasts, ancient evils and other unknown forces inhabit the Tidelands found throughout Thelas.
  • Clashing Communities
    • The Anchored Isles may seem relatively safe compared to the unknown wilds of the Tidelands but there are many different factions constantly in various states of conflict whether it be economical, militarily or more shady in nature. In a world run by pirates you can only ever truly trust yourself!
  • Everything has a Soul
    • As the creatures and people of Thelas live and breath, so too does the world itself. Whether it be to bring life to a living being or to manifest as coalesced elemental forces, souls exist in many forms. It is believed the Stream of Souls flows through the greatest depths of the Endless Ocean.
  • Magic and Technology
    • The ingenuity of the people has only been furthered by the abundance of magic throughout Thelas. All manner of amazing engineering can be found throughout the world alongside an equally impressive array of arcane wonders.
    • The use of Magitech that utilises the benefits of both the physical and metaphysical has been pioneered by many forward thinking tinkers and engineers.
  • Heroes of Many Sizes and Shapes
    • The only thing grander than the adventures of Thelas are its people. A plethora of heroes (and villains); legendary pirate captains, treasure hunting adventurers, charismatic merchants, brilliant scholars. Across the Anchored Isles and hidden among the Tidelands are people just as diverse and fascinating as the lands they inhabit.
  • It's All About the Heroes
    • The Endless Ocean of Thelas sees the presence of many Tidefarers and their crews, all of whom venture forth to the Tidelands seeking answers to questions they may not even know they're asking. But while everyone is the hero of their own story, they are the villain of another!
  • Mystery, Discovery and Growth
    • The Tidelands are mysterious yet prosperous places each with their own dangers and undiscovered secrets. A countless number of these roaming islands are spread throughout the Endless Ocean waiting to be explored.
